Greenwood Families,
No more snow, please! We are eager to return to consistent, uninterrupted time with our students. Even with recent weather disruptions, our teachers continue designing lessons filled with rigor and relevance that challenge students to think critically and apply their learning in meaningful ways. We remain committed to maintaining high expectations for both academics and behavior so every child continues to grow, lead, and shine each day.
LAMPS Schedule
Academic Snapshot
Even with weather interruptions, instruction has remained strong and aligned to grade-level expectations. Teachers have adjusted pacing thoughtfully to ensure essential standards are taught with depth and clarity. Students continue engaging in small group instruction, data-driven interventions, and enrichment opportunities designed to meet their individual needs. If you have specific questions about your child, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher.
Attendance March Madness
We are excited to share that the March Madness brackets have been drawn to determine which class has the best attendance! Each Friday, we will announce which class advances based on the highest weekly attendance. The winning class will get to fully “tattoo” an administrator of their choice with rub-on tattoos at the end of the tournament. Our goal is to build strong attendance habits and reinforce the importance of being present and on time each day. Every day in school matters, and consistent attendance leads to stronger academic growth and deeper connections within our school community.
Candy Request
Our front office is collecting candy or mints to place near the teacher sign-in book each day. These small treats are greatly appreciated by our staff and help brighten their day. Thank you for your support!
Soccer Goal Repair Request
We are looking for a parent volunteer who can help secure our soccer nets on the playground. If you have experience in this area, please call us at 804-261-2970 or stop by the playground after 6:00 PM during the week or over the weekend. We truly appreciate the help.
Arrival Reminder
If you are dropping off your student in the car rider line, you must remain in your vehicle. Students should be ready to exit quickly with their belongings. Cars should not park illegally in our lot to avoid the drop-off line. We unload over 200 cars between 7:10–7:40 AM, which is incredible! If you would like to avoid the line, please consider having your child ride the school bus.

Throughout the week of February 23–27, our bus riders will complete a series of required safety bus drills to ensure they are prepared and informed in the event of an emergency.

Teachers will vote to determine the top projects that demonstrate creativity, research, and strong presentation skills. This project helps our 5th graders strengthen durable skills such as problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking—skills that will serve them well in middle school and beyond.
